Tamworth Park : A Recreation Area with wilder parts
The eastern end of the park has longer areas of grass, various shrubs, and a
pond. This was originally stocked in 1991 with help from the Portsmouth Urban
Wildlife Group (now Hampshire Wildlife Trust, Portsmouth District Group). This
area was originally a marshy creek leading into Langstone Harbour. The first
phase of reclamation was about 200 years ago, when a sea wall was built
approximately where Eastern Road is now. Milton Common was created about 40 years
ago, leaving this area over 1km from the sea.
6th July 1991
Pond weeds were planted
by tying a clump to a stone
and chucking it in.
The pond in October 2005. A pair of grey wagtails were flitting between the bushes and the platform.
